Deadly Traps of Carnivorous Fungi
The fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora, found in Asia, Africa, America, and Australia, typically feeds on decaying organic matter. However, when faced with a nutrient deficiency, it
RNA Universe: Pioneering the Origin of Life
The enigma of life’s origin perplexes modern science. Billions of years ago, a unique interplay among molecules laid the groundwork for our existence. Gerald Yotze,
Discovery of the World of Infectious Proteins
Prion – an extraordinary protein molecule responsible for brain infections obtained from meat. In mammals, including humans, it triggers the gradual and unstoppable demise of
A Viral Twist in Neuronal Communication Revealed
Millions of years ago, our DNA encountered viral contamination, resulting in the exchange of genetic material among proteins crucial for long-term memory formation. This viral
The Influence of a 700-Million-Year-Old Mutation on Organ Development
A genetic mutation that dates back 700 million years has played a crucial role in the formation of essential organs in humans and other vertebrates.
Chemical-free plant protection against gray mold discovered.
A new RNA-based fungicide could replace chemical fungicides in the fight against gray mold. Gray mold can infect a variety of fruits and vegetables, causing
New gene scissors from Fanzor proteins discovered
Scientists have discovered a new gene-editing tool that is more precise and avoids side effects. The tool is based on Fanzor proteins, which are found
New gene scissors work on coronavirus.
A new gene-editing tool has been developed that can manipulate RNA-based structures, including the coronavirus. The previous CRISPR/Cas9 method was limited to DNA. The CRISPR/Cas9
